Reporting & Analysis
Understanding how your business is performing is important for two reasons – you need to know what’s going well so you can do more if it, and highlight what isn’t working so you take action to change it.
You also don’t want to waste time ploughing through loads of numbers to get to the information you want. I’ll work with you to design a clear and concise set of reports that can be delivered in an efficient timescale and in a format that works for you. This will allow you to make informed decisions based on the facts.
Budgeting & Forecasting
Managing expectations is always important and this requires you to understand how your business is likely to perform in the future.
Not only does a budget give you a clear picture of what you may achieve it also tells you how much you can spend. I can help you develop a budgeting process that gives you clarity of what the future might look like and then work with you to revise this as needed to make sure you always have the most up-to-date view.
Financial Modelling & Projections
Any business that wants to grow and develop may have a range of options available, all of which need to be carefully considered and evaluated.
As part of that process it’s important to understand the impact of each decision and I can develop financial models that will help you to understand the potential impact, compare the different options, understand the risk and make the right decision for your business.
Strategic & Operational Direction
Finance is important but it doesn’t stand alone, it’s just one important piece of the jigsaw that makes up your whole business.
I like to make sure I understand how every part of your business interacts and how it impacts the key objectives. Not only is it important to know where you want to go, it’s also crucial to know how you’re going to get there and I can work with you and your team to build a build a plan, understand the potential challenges and help you get where you want to be.
Training & Coaching
Let’s face it, lots of peopLet’s face it, lots of people hate numbers. They might find them boring, scary, uninspiring, not relevant…..or all of the above?
Whether it be a one-to-one or group session, formal or impromptu, I can help you and your team not only understand what the numbers mean but how they can be used to help make decisions and drive the business forward.

Business System & Processes Review
It’s often easier to keep doing things the way they’ve always been done rather than take the time to evaluate and make sure the business is operating in the most efficient and effective way.
I can carry out a review of the finance processes, make recommendations to benefit the business and help you to manage any changes. I can also support the integration of any acquisitions that might take place.
Finance Director Support
A lot of businesses don’t need or can’t justify the cost of a full time FD but they would benefit from temporary, interim or part-time expertise at a senior level to provide strategic financial support and guidance.
I can work as part of your team to build strong relationships internally as well as with external partners and can provide the expertise and stability that you need.
